I agree with many that these videos provide an invaluable fast track approach to learning how to develop in the asp.net environment. My only issues are that some of the videos for iPod download seem to lose video around the 8 - 10 minute mark and in one or more cases the VB video link points to a C# tutorial.

joshuamn : On June 14, 2008 4:04 PM said:

If you just downloaded VWD 2008 the section on Layouts DOES NOT apply.  The microsoft team decided to NERF 2008: #1) You cannot select multiple objects, rendering the Layout Toolbar COMPLETELY USELESS and #2) The absolute positioning on some basic tools does not apply untill you give it some layout Height or Width dimensions (in the properties section), then you have to goto "Format"> "Position"> "absolute".  Such a disapointment.

parainaj : On July 30, 2008 4:21 PM said:

I'm a novice to ASP.net and I recently downloaded MS Visual studio 2008 version 9.0.21022.8 rtm. While I was trying to follow the online tutorial Lesson#2 I found out that I'm missing the layout menu form the tool bar which disables me from accessing  important options such Absolute Positioning & Using layers. (Note in the tutorial the instructor is using a 2005 express edition of the web visual studio).

Is there a way to get the menu back to the main tool bar ?

Or if the menu is not part of the tool bar in the 2008 version then what's the replacement of it and how do I get around with  Absolute Positioning & Using layers and other options that are part of the layout menu.

Please get back to me asap your help is very much appreciated.

Thank you.

Thanks a bunch

geralddean : On November 23, 2008 8:06 PM said:

good stuff. very informative.

One prob for me is as I'm using Visual Studio 2008, there appears to be no easy way to set the controls to be absolutely positioned so I ended up creating the css manually and adding cssclass attributes to the controls to link them up.

I suppose beginners would not be using VS2008 so that may be an issue. But for future reference, a good idea would be to say how to set it in a different environment other than the express editions.

I was able to drag the controls around after setting the position to absolute via css but it would be cool to be able to do this prior to inserting the control.

thanks again.

I am unable to download or view the c# video's.On the other hand VB video's can be viewed perfectly well.Can somebody suggest a way to sort this.

jameslori1815@comcast.net : On December 09, 2008 5:49 PM said:

In Visual Web Developer 2008 Express you can enable absolute positioning for controls added from the toolbox, paste or drag and drop by following these steps.

Click on Tools/Options

At the bottom of the Options dialog check the box that says "Show all settings" so you can see the HTML Designer choice.

Expand HTML Designer node, and select CSS Styling.

Then check the box that says "Change positioning to absolute for controls added using Toolbox, paste or drag and drop".

Click OK and position freely!

James.yejian : On January 28, 2009 7:50 PM said:

I use

Tools | Options | CSS STYLING | Check the last option "Change positioning  to absolute .......................... drag and drop"

to get absolute positioning. But I still cann't position some controls like label, radiobutton etc.

How to enable all controls have positioning? Thanks a lot!
